MONTEREY, Calif. -- Coastal Northern California is under a tsunami warning following a massive earthquake that struck off northeastern Japan.
National Weather Service meteorologist Matt Mehle in Monterey says some of the biggest waves are expected to hit Crescent City around 7 a.m. He says wave heights between 6-and-7 feet are expected there. Crescent City is located about 20 miles south of the Oregon border.
The Marin County coast south to Monterey is expected to see wave heights of about 2 feet beginning at around 8 a.m.
The West Coast-Alaska Tsunami Warning Center says residents who are near the beach or in low-lying areas should move immediately to higher ground. Dangerous coastal flooding accompanied by powerful currents is possible and may continue for several hours after arrival of the initial wave.

Japan earthquake causes fire at nuclear plant
11/03/2011
The massive earthquake which struck today off the coast of Japan has sparked a fire at a nuclear plant.
Several nuclear plants along the coast were partially shut down after the 8.9 quake, but there were no reports of any radioactive leaks.
The quake started a fire in a turbine building at nuclear power plant in north-eastern Japan, but the reactor building was reported to be secure.
Tohoku Electric Power said smoke was observed coming out of the building, which is separate from the reactor, and the cause was under investigation. The plant is in Miyagi prefecture.
The company said there have been no reports of radioactive leaks or injuries.

Japan death toll touches 26 after massive earthquake
The death toll from the massive quake that hit northeast Japan on Friday, causing many injuries, fires and a four-metre (13-ft) tsunami along the country's Pacific coast, has reached 26, local media reported.
The US Geological Survey said the epicenter was about 250 miles from Tokyo at a depth of 20 miles. The quake's magnitude was recorded 8.9 on Richter scale.
About 20 were injured and many are still missing, including a number of children who were sucked into the sea following the quake, the public broadcaster said.
Among the dead in Tokyo, were a 67 year old man who was crushed by a wall and an elderly woman killed under a fallen roof, the report said. Two deaths are reported due to collapsing wall at a Honda factory in Tochigi prefecture.
According to media reports, collapsed buildings caused three more deaths as the earthquake caused buildings to shake violently in the capital Tokyo.
About eight people were missing in a landslide in Fukushima prefecture, Kyodo News agency said.
While the massive earthquake is being considered more powerful than the last month's New Zealand quake, authorities are expecting a rise in death toll.
